PCV Question
Recently moved to a Touring bike (Road Glide Custom). On my Dyna I researched options for tuning, and discounted the PCV as a lot of Dyna riders mentioned "moisture" issues with the connectors ... I live in Oregon = wet. Have PCV Touring bikes had issues with moisture and PCV?

I have a PCV from FuelMoto along with their air cleaner and a set of V&H true duals on my 2011 Limited. We rode home Sunday before last in that frog strangler of a rainstorm all the way to Albany from Roseburg. No issues here.I had a PCIII on my 07 for 4 yrs. no trouble either.

I live in Oregon and have had a PCV on 3 of my bikes. No problems so far, you can always just dab on a bit of dielectic grease for good measure. You can find it at any automotive store and no harder to apply than squeezing a tube of toothpaste.

I've had no problems with either a PCIII or the PCV in four years of use in S. LA, which of course have the same connector. I didn't put dielectric grease on the PCIII connector but did on the PCV. There have been a few reports of water getting inside connectors but I think it is a very small minority, and if you use dielectric grease I can't imagine there being much of a chance of moisture problems.
